She Said: Mother oh Mother, Why?

he-said-she-said Poems

Mother oh Mother. Why? I find myself Torn Between two lives Mother, oh Mother, My future self and my past strife They battle As I watch with wide eyes Mother oh Mother, My head pounds As my heart Is pulled two ways Splitting down the middle Like the poems I wrote in the beginning of high school Mother oh Mother, They were ripped to shreds And tossed in the trash compactor, Mother oh Mother, My heart can't take the same fate As my first love letter. Laughed at and ignored, Set aside when it became a bore. Mother oh Mother, you once told me Don't ever grow up Well that was a sore mistake Considering I grew up Far too quickly In order to make up For your ****** up faith In that ******* bottle Mother oh Mother, Do you remember the night That you shattered it against the wall (you had missed my head) Mother oh Mother, it made for a pretty metaphor Representing My life after you Decided Facing demons Was best done With a little help From your friends Jack, Jose and Morgan. Mother oh Mother, They never had any right To take over our lives Just like him An invader Nothing like kin. No matter how much you insist There's no problem, Not even you, Can begin to understand What they've cost you. Mother oh Mother The memory is clear As the night you wept, "Don't grow up to be like me" You whispered it quietly Just past midnight While you sipped on your wine. Out of that diluted cracked glass, Sleeping pills in hand. Mother oh Mother Do you remember how I sighed? Closed my eyes. Hid my tears, It never did me well to cry Not with you. Mother oh Mother, That night stands clear in my mind. I took you to bed, Tucked you in, kissing your forehead. Setting yet another glass of clear water, two advil down This night was repeated far too many times. Mother oh Mother, Do you even know? Every single last day I was screaming on the inside Mother oh Mother, Mother oh Mother, Mother oh Mother, Why?
